I took a walk on the Continental Divide Trail today. I drove to Berthoud Pass, which is about an hour's drive from my place. From Berthoud Pass, I hiked up to Mt. Flora (13,132 Ft.) The mountain has two peaks. I went to them both, but I couldn't tell which one was higher. The hike was a round trip of about 5 miles. It was a pretty easy hike. Lots of sun and wind. Here are some pictures from the hike.

It's obvious why you like "Life in Colorado." The scenery is fantastic. Good to see you're able to get out on the trails again.
"Ditto" what Pops said. Of course, I like the flower pictures.
